FTC issues civil investigative demands to Anthropic and OpenAI over whether safety incidents harmed consumers
Decision Brief
What changedThe US Federal Trade Commission sent civil investigative demands to Anthropic and OpenAI, seeking documents on recent safety incidents, internal safety measures, and marketing materials to determine whether consumers were harmed.
Why it mattersThe demands include a questionnaire of more than 50 pages and may subpoena third-party affected parties, meaning AI products serving US users must now retain evidence-ready materials on incident disclosure, marketing claims, and agent behavior audits—or risk daily accruing fines for false disclosure.

According to Axios sources, the FTC on Wednesday sent civil investigative demands to Anthropic and OpenAI, requiring documents related to recent safety incidents, the internal safety measures the companies have taken, and marketing materials that may have misled consumers. The questionnaire exceeds 50 pages, and third parties affected by OpenAI's and Anthropic's agents will also be subpoenaed. If unfavorable evidence is gathered, the FTC could sue both companies, alleging they released unsafe products. OpenAI already faces multiple consumer-harm lawsuits, and this week eight more states jointly sued OpenAI, claiming ChatGPT has harmed children.
